Yes, I am

18 years ago

CrAzY..............just don't have the papers to prove it......YET! I finally got out to my shed with a rake and shovel to clear a path to get me settled in for the winter...I needed a dumpster........actually.........got all the spiders, webs, etc......moved out temporarily.......and I counted NINE, yes NINE projects that I have stopped and started.......stopped and started..........stopped and started! Yes, I do have ADD...that's proof enough! I have made a silent commitment to myself to NOT start another dang thing until I get all of these DONE...so tough for me.......as I get an idea and I start a project..........like a cat jumps on a mouse....then I play with it till it wears out and start searching for another mouse to pounce on........is it too early for New Year's resolutions? Gish, I get tired of them too!

    Yep, admitting that you have several WIP's is trouble.
    Someone will be on you like a chicken on a June bug to get 'em done!!

    I'm finding that clutter in my studio makes ME crazy, not to mention.....IRRITABLE! It looks like a tornado hit. No kidding....I get kinda "nervous" and can't work until it's neat again. I'm pretty much a "one project at a time" person because of that. Let's face it....there will NEVER be enough room in our studios...we'll just keep haulin' in more and more tools and supplies!

    My shed, my sanction, my getaway..my haven....was making me very very irritable.....I know that I am not capable of ever being organized and tidy as I should be...but I gotta get my act together and not be this dysfunctioinal....ever again...it was totally a wreck...now, my house, office, etc...is tidy...but when I go to mosaicing...I just let her rip! I turn into another person.....!

    'nother crazy person here - can't bear to start and finish one before starting another....the waiting time for something to set, dry, cure, etc. drives me NUTS...So another thing is started, has to set, dry, cure....So another things is started....etc, etc.

    Yes, I am a nut! I always find myself aggravaited and MAKING myself finish stuff before I can begin a new one or BUY more stuff. (Not even gonna touch the MESS issue in my workroom. You don't want to know.)I'm at that point just now trying to make room for all the Christmas stuff I need to stash. You're not CRAZY really, just very creative. Creative people tend to be messy when creating because you're "in the moment." Nothing shameful in it.

    Girls Most of you sound like me .I I onley do 1 or 2 at a time .I do spend to much time getting things in order .I want it clean before I start a new pro.I for the life of me do not understand .How it can get so messsy so fast .
    I wish I felt the same about my house .My house is not a mes but I much rather be in my shop or out side than cleang and cooking.
    I work at a flower shop and the girl who works the first part of the week leaves the place a wreck just drive me crazy I have to clean it up before I can do flowers .She is trying to buy the shop neadless to say I will not be working for her .I am not a slob.

    I think I should say that I get aggravaited 'cause I have 6 or 7 projects going at once 'cause they're in different stages or I got bored etc. So that's when I MAKE myself get busy and get it done!! If I only worked on one thing at a time, well... I just can't.

    I'm not a very good housekeeper, if I try to tidy up, I "lose" my stuff I was working on,and I wind up dragging everything back out again. My dining table has several projects on it right now,a nice thick towel has a spot where I was glueing and grouting, I set those projects on the coffee table to dry,and then got out another project,silver spoons,etc,for jewelry. My husband is always coming up behind me saying "take a little break",lol. But at least I am finishing my projects! Just not vacuuming,or washing dishes or clothes or cooking:)

    Oh, I had to bump this one up again as I'm glad I'm not the only one!!! Ahhh, Soul Sisters!!!

  • 18 years ago

    I'm a one project at a time girl too, just don't have the space, can't believe the mess I make with one project, yikes!

  • 18 years ago

    Not going there - ROSIE knows how messy my workshop is, so call me crazy too. Don't know how y'all do this inside your kitchens/dining areas. Do y'all remember seeing that lady on one of the craft shows who does it on her BED - grouting and ALL???!!! We're ALL nuts, but isn't it F.U.N.?!
